Lady: "I need a dozen rosey reds for my bala shark, he killed the other one i had in the tank" Me: thinking to myself that that was kinda weird, "well how big is your tank?" Lady: "29 gallon" Me: "What else do you have in there?" Lady: "Just the bala shark about 3in long like the other one he...

Had a customer freak out when i mentioned that he really should start doing water changes to his 55gal, "Thats going to cost me a fortune!!!"

Not fish related but interesting, someone was told (at another LFS), that their dehydrated hamster needed to be misted down, because they have the ability to drink through their skin

Had a guy also come in wanting to buy a koi for his goldfish bowl....

thanks, any other tips that you would give out to someone building their first diy sump?

there is one medication that has helped me out and that i personally recomend, it's called Rid-Ick, you can find it at your LFS, it really works good!

ok i get it now, as long as there is no still air around the aquariums they will be ok, thanks for your help, and sorry if i seemed slow for a while

what about fish that can breath air directly from the surface?, i have a senegalus bichir and a weatherloach, will they be affected?
